RudeWolf Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Is it possible this is true? Well, it seems a bit blown out of proportion if these are really just guidelines that are not enforced. However the tendency is quite clear and a bit unsettling. We recently had a similar scandal in the media because allegedly some poems were getting censored out of the school textbooks. In the end it turned out that that the author committee had to choose which poems to leave in the books because of the space restrictions and the ones which didn't make it happened to be quite mature. I'm just saying that journalists love this kind of stuff because it plays so well with the recent spirit of general anti-establishment-ism.

Grahame Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 The Clairtone Project G stereo was produced by Clairtonefrom 1964-67. Costing 2000$ new (approximately the equivalent of $20,000 today) the high price kept it from becoming a huge success. Despite it sounding and looking incredible, fewer than 400 Project G's were made. It was promoted by Frank Sinatra, Hugh Hefner, Oscar Peterson and other celebrities and found a niche within Hollywood and other trendsetters popping up on the sets of such movies as The Graduate, The Party and Zabriskie Point.Clairtone's co-founder, Peter Munk once quipped that, "The prime minister had one and if the local truck driver didn't have one, he wanted one."
